Morgan county library receives quality library award

 The Morgan County Library was recently honored by the Utah State Library Division with the Quality Library Award. The award was accepted by Erin Bott, Morgan County Library Director, at the Utah Library Directors Summit in Salt Lake City earlier this month. Morgan County Library was one of just 16 libraries in the state of Utah to receive the designation. 

The Quality Library Award recognizes small libraries, those serving fewer than 50,000 citizens, that go above and beyond the annual recertification requirements in their efforts to serve their communities. 

Morgan County Library was recognized for their engaging programming, community collaboration, and their innovation. 

Director Erin Bott said, “The Morgan County Library has worked to tailor our offerings to meet the needs and interests of the growing community. In addition to our services for young children, we have focused on expanding our programming to better serve teens and adults.” During the last year, the library has hosted art classes for patrons age 55 and older, Tai Chi classes in partnership with the Weber-Morgan Health Department, Constitution Classes led by the Morgan County Attorney, as well as movie nights, crafting, and board game activities. “One of the biggest surprises,” said Bott, “has been the enthusiastic attendance at our weekly chess club. We look forward to building that program even more by hosting a tournament this fall.”

The Morgan County Library strives to serve all members of the community by providing access to materials, resources, and spaces to meet their evolving needs. 

Congratulations to the Morgan County Library for the well-deserved award! λ
